SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RAPID HEATING OF FLUID

摘要

Apparatus for rapidly heating fluid includes a fluid circuit (12) having electrodes (16, 17, 18) between which the fluid flows. A voltage is applied between a pair of electrodes (16, 17, 18) whereby current is caused to flow through the fluid. The inlet and outlet fluid temperatures are measured and the current controlled by varying the applied voltage to produce a desired temperature rise in the fluid in accordance with measured fluid flow rate.
